THE NEWS.
In addition to the news in another column, confirm
,r the capture of Harper's Ferry lr Jackson, and the
rt-iiiilse of the enemy by Hill and Longstreet at Middle-
town, we learn Irom passengers irom uirnmona on
Monday morning, that another guat and bloody battla
was fought on Wednesday and Thursday last, not far
from where the former battles took place. It is stated
that the main force of both sides was engaged. Lee
, mnmanded our army and McClellun the enemy. On
th- first day, Wednesday, it is reported that our army
ivl! hack 0 miles to get abetter position, and onThurs- !
day drove the whole Federal army hack 'J miles. It
is said to have been the most terrible buttle of the war,
and the loss great on both sides. It is reported that
we had three Brigadier Generals killed and four woun
,ed Oen Brunch, of this .Slate, is imported among the
killed.
We give this news as we received it, but cannot say
that it is entirely reliable. Inasmuch as the battles
iin- reported to have taken place on last Wednesday
and Thursday, it seems strange that no authentic new s
his been received before this.
The news from Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri
coutiniies to be of the most favorable character. In
f';tct, everywhere, the Confederates have the decided
advantage of the enemy. Wherever our troops go
they are received with joy by those whom the yankees
have kept in bondage and subjection.

in good health, but in an hour or two afterwards he

"W L DeRossett,
J6aJ-At a sale of sugars, molasses, teas, kc, in
Petersburg, Va., last week, the Express states that
there was a considerable decline on former prices.
N. O. sugar sold at 53 cents, claiified 63; molasses
$2 02 to $3 per gallon, tea $1 25 per pound. The
Express says:
''The favorable news from our armies, as well as the
very favorable aspect of affairs for the South, will no
doubt, have the effect of reducing the prices of many
articles that are now held at such extortionate rates.
No greater satisfaction could be given the public, than
to see the speculators bitten in their attempts to bite.
There is an immense quantity of sugar in the South
West. Comparatively speaking, but little has been
destroyed, or sent to the North the grand depot of
demand and supply. The only difficulty in the way of
getting It is want of transportion. Vicksburg is ours;
Baton Rouge is ours, and consequently the navigation
of the Mississippi river between those points is ours.
As our grand armies are on the march into the richest
portion of the enemy's country, where unlimited sup
plies of the most varied kind and best quality can be
obtained, our transportation lines in the South will
not be so encumbered by government freight as to pre
vent the transportation "of private merchandize. We
therefore confidently expect, under this view of affairs,
a vast change for tlie better in the price of the ne:es
saries of life."
Death of II. W. Miller, Esq. In Raleigh, on
Wednesday last, Henry W. Miller, Esq., died after a
short illness. Mr Miller was one of the ablest lawyers
and most gilted orators in the State. He was about
49 vears of age.

papers the following order
copy from the Raleigh
just issued from the Adju
tant General's Department. The attention of Militia
ollicers is particularly called to the muter :
Rallicu, September 13, lsG2.
I. Colouels and others in command of the militia
of North Carolina are hereby ordered to bring all men
liable to conscription in their commands, and all
soldiers absent from their regiments without leave, to
the Camp of Instruction at Raleigh. All power neces
sary for the enforcing or this order is hereby given to
thcui.
II. A failure or refusal to comply with this order will
subject the offender to the penalties of a court martial,
and consequent reduction to ranks.
III. The Executive through its own officer having
thus undertaken to collect all persons liable to military
duty, in-tead of allowing Confederate olliocrs to do so,
it is earnestly hoped that all will come up promptly to
the performance of their tutv.
l'.v order of Gov. Vanck.
J. G. MARTIN", Adj. Gen.
Salt. Our readers will find in to-day's paper a
letter of great importance from Mr Woodtiu in regard
to salt.
Two Gfuces. The Raleigh Standard expresses the
opinion that it is wrong for one man to hold the office
of Brigadier General in the Confederate army and also
that of Adjutant General of North Carolina. Gen.
Martin hoids these two offices, and the Standard sug
gests that he ought to resign one. We agree with the
Standard exactly in this matter. No man should be
allowed to hold two public otliccs, and for that reason
we disapproved of the election of Judges to our State
Convention some time ago, and we repeat that neither a
Judge nor any other person should be permitted to
hold two public otVices or j-Iacm at the same time. If a
Judge is not content with his position and is anxious
or willing to till another, he ought to resign his Judge
ship; and if Gen. Martin is not satisfied with his
position as Adjutant Genera!, he too ought to have re
figucd before accepting the post of Brigadier General
in the Confederate army. There arc a plent Pf capa
ble men without burdening one nmn with two office.

JtefiTThose wishing to purchase Salt are referred to
the card of A. K. .Mall, of Wilmington, N. C. We
know Mr Hall well, and assure the public that he may
be relied on to do what is right.
NOTICE.
Uur terms arc now ..rer ,1 ,U:t'r per year. Printing
materials and everything else have more than doubled
in price, and it is proper, and m.thiij but air, that
the price of newspapers should be advanced to meet
the increased rates of material, living, kt. We don't
intend to promise anything that we can't afford, aud
we thtiik it better to advance one dollar on our sub
?criptiol. pru-c than to leduce the naner in size, as
a '
mi the South have been compelled
gy" Vigilance Committees have been formed in
several of the interior towns in Georgia, to prevent the
buying up and taking away the prime necessaries of
life : and requiring that all foreigners, Jew or Gentile,
local or transient, be required to leave said towns.
The people of Vork, perhaps, will have to follow some
such course, unless they wait to be starved out by the
vagabond set who pay us weekly visits from Columbia
and Charleston. One fellow has engaged nearly all
the butter in the District, at a high price, which he
will call for at stated times. Yorkcille Enquirer.
There is general complaint in this community of the
conduct of transient traders and speculators. Con
sumers who live here find it a hard matter to get any
thing to eat because the speculators and transient tra
ders, who neither do the town or Confederacy any
good, buy up the necessaries of life for the sole purpose
of speculating. The patience and forbearance of our
people are nearly exhausted.
Yellow Fkvkk is Wilmington. We regret to learn
that yellow fever has made its appearance at Wil
mington, in a very malignant form. It is supposed to
have been brought there by the crew of the Kate, or
some other vessel which has recentry run the blockade.
About '.iO or 40 cases are said to have occurred, and a
number of deaths. The most active exertions have
been made to cleanse the town and prevent its spread
ing. Numbers of persons are fleeing from the place.
Jlii I tii ft Standard.
The Wilmington Journal, of the ICth, gives the fol
lowing correct information concerning the pi ogress of
the disease:
"In order to put at rest the many exaggerated aud
exciting rumors which have gone forth in regard to
the sanitary condition of this town, and to the exis
tence of yellow fever here, His Honor, the Mayor,
thinks that an exact statement of the facts of the case
as he has found them to exist, is due to the public,
lie requests us to state as follows:
He has made diligent enquiry of all the physicians
m town who have Iteen in attendance upon any sus-
pected cases, and finds the whole number of such cases,
j up to this time, pr noticed yellow fever, to be five. On
I yesterday there was only one new case, and none to
day. it li the piecautions adopted, it is confidently
hoped that no further spread of the disease need be
ippreheuded."
The Journal of the 17th says.
" No new cases of yellow fever have been reported
to-day. There seems to be no indication of the disease
extending itself, and there is no ground for fright or
panic. All the excitement will pass away in a few
days."
Bs"At a meeting of the Stockholders of the Bank
of Wadesboro, held the 9th inst., the following resolu
tion was adopted on motion of W. L. Steele, seconded
by Joseph Medley:
Resolved, That in the opinion of the Stockholders,
it is the duty of all citizen? and bodies corporate in the
Confederate States to sustain the financial credit of the
Govcrntneut to which we all look in confidence for pro
tection, and as such should freely receive and payout
in business transactions the Treasury notes or bills of
credit issued for the purpose of sustaining the Govern
ment in prosecuting the war for independence.
W'tidctboro Argus.
The action of the Bank of Wadesboro is exactly
right, and very creditable to the institution.

A Man Killed on the X. C. Hoad. We
learn from a passenger who reached this city on
Friday inorniug's train Irom Charlotte, that when
about CO miles from this city, just about sunrise,
the train passed over the body of a man lying
across the track. On stopping the train and ex
amining the bodj', it was found that the man must
have been killed some hours before, as it was per
fectly cold. The body was shockingly mangled,
the head and one of the arms being entirly sever
ed from the body. It is supposed the man was
druuk, and while lying ou the track was ran over
by the freight train. Ilaleiyh Rejtster.

Outrageous Cruelty. Gen. Tilghman de
livered a speech at Jackson, Miss., reciting the
particulars of his treatment while a prisoner in
the hands of the yankees. He said that Gen.
Uuckner and himself were thrown into a dungeon
thirty feet under ground, and for four months and
a half were excluded from the light of day, and
not permitted to exchange a word with any living
soul. The day of reckoning for such barbarity is
at hand.
The General thought that we would have peace
in less than six months, the North being sick of
the war.

A PROCLAMATION
By Z. B. Vaxce, Governor of North Carolina.
Whereas, Information has reached me that certain
persons, unmindful of the calls of patriotism, and for
getful of the duties of good citizens, are using their in
fluence to prevent obedience to the law of Congress
knowu as the Conscript Law, and that others are at
tempting to organize an open resistance to its execu
tion; and whereas, such conduct being not only in di
rect violation of law, but also detrimental, in the high
est degree, to the cause of our country.it becomes my
sacred duty to prevent and repress the same by all the
means in my power :
Now, therefore, I, Zedi lox B. Vaxck, Governor of
North-Carolina, do issue this my proclamation, warn
ir.'' all such persons to desist from such unpatriotic and
criminal conduct ; earnestly hoping that all who are
disinclined to defend their homes themselves, either
by reason of age, infirmity or cowardice, will cea3e to
dissuade those who are willing; and notifying all per
sons contemplating an armed resistance to the law, if
there really be ain- such misguided and evil-disposed
persons in our midst, that they will commit the crime
ot treason according to the Constitution, and must not
expect to e.:capc its penalties. Whilst thousands upon
thousands of our best and bravest have cheerfully
obeyed the law, and by their patriotic valor have driv
en the enemy back to the Potomac, it would be an in
tolerable outrage upon them to permit others to evade
the law, or worse still, to resist it by open violence.
Let no one, therefore, be deceived, the law will be
enforced , and I appeal lo all loyal and patriolic citi
zens to sustain those who arc charged with its execu
tion. Given under my hand, and attested by the Great
Seal of the State. Done at the city of Raleigh, the
18th dav of September, 1862.

hundred and fifty prisoners and tniiie stores, iSic most
being takeu to the Ferry. The investment of Harper's
Ferry was effected . on Saturday. Sundny Morning
there was some firing, and it was renewed vesterdav
morning. and the result the unconditional surrender ot
the garrison ten thousand men, with all the arms,
fifty pieces of artillery, ammunition, one hundred
wagons, quartermaster and commissary stores, and
many cars, some of which were loaded, and' 600

Jackson will now re-cross the Potomac at Harper's

lo follow our advanced corps, and we shall capture or
disperse the whole concern. God grant that this con

BATTLE AT MIDDLETOWN, M'D.
rite Federals muler Gen. MeCUIlan
pulsed.
From the Richmond Enquirer of Saturday we copy
the follewing account of the battle at or near Middle
town, in Maryland, on Sunday aud Monday, Sep! 1 4th
and 15th:
Of the many rumors current, the following appears
to be the most authentic: That a desperate battle was
fought on Sunday the 14th, at Middletown, Md., be
tween the Confederate forces under Gen D II Hill, and
the Yankees, 80,000 strong, commanded by McClellan.
Gen Hill is reported to have made three separate at
tacks, and was each time repulsed by the superior num
bers of the enemy. Early the next "morning (Monday)
he was reinforced by Gen Longstreet, and again at
tacked the enemy, and succeeded in driving hiin three
miles from his original position. The fight is snid lo
have been a long and bloody one, and was attended
with heavy loss on both sides.
Middletown is on the great Turnpike leading from
Frederick city to Cumberland, 8 miles from the former
place in a northern direction. :About ten miles fur
ther west on the same road is Ifoonsboro, where it was
first erroneously said the fight had taken place.
Gen Hill's division sustoij, -uu w.ad.tfui cii
Inn try, the attack of McClellan's main force, until the !
arrival of Longstreet, when the enemy was driven back
with great slaughter.
P. S. A gentleman who reached Richmond on Fri
day evening says it is understood that Gen Hill's los
on Sunday was chiefly in prisoners, of whom Cobb's
brigade furnished the principal u;;uiher. Gen Garland
of Va, was certainly killed. Gen Garnett was not in
jured. Gen Jackson had marched from Harper's Ferry to
get in rear of the enemy, who was understood to be
retreating before Lee.

State at their head. The Confederates arc in posses

FROM THE WEST
Mobile, September 20. A special despatch to the
Advertiser and Register, dated Knoxville September
19, states that the enemy evacuated Cumberland Gap
on Wedusday night, blowing up their magazines, des
troying all their property, and blasting rocks to block
up the roads. They retreated by Harland road to
Kentucky, our forces pursuing them at Cumberland
Ford and Baptist Gap.
Andy Johnston's family who w ere at Greenville, East
Tennessee, within our lines, have beeu permitted by
order of the Secretary of War, to return to the enemy.
Chattanooga, September 10. The enemy have
again evacuated Nashville this time going down ihe
